One thing we're really loving about tech this year is the explosion of mini PCs. We're seeing a lot more of them and they're super affordable, rather powerful, and absolutely tiny. Some come with the latest AMD CPU, others run on Intel, some feature DDR4, others come with the newer DDR5. Storage is usually not a problem with mini PCs, either, and multitasking on multiple screens is expected.
I've gone ahead and hunted all the best mini PC deals you can currently get your hands on right now. Here are the best early Prime Day mini PC discounts I found, along with my recommendations. There's also an FAQ at the end in case you need more guidance when buying these. You'll need to be a Prime member to take advantage of these deals — here's how to score a free Amazon Prime trial subscription and get in on the action.

In our review of the Samsung 990 EVO Plus, we gave it a 4-star rating despite our verdict that it's a fantastic daily driver SSD with excellent performance and fast data speeds, able to read at up to 7,250 MB/s and write at up to 6,300 MB/s. Why the missing star? Because it was too expensive at the time. But with this hefty discount, it's a phenomenal buy—one that will have you booting up, loading apps, and transferring files in record time. It also doesn't hurt that it's compatible with both PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCI 5.0 x2, which means it offers some future-proofing in case you ever upgrade your PC or swap to a newer one.
Act fast to get the 4TB Samsung 990 EVO Plus for only $235. But it's not just the 4TB model that's on sale. If you want to spend less, you can also score the 1TB version for only $80 (was $110) and the 2TB version for only $140 (was $177). If none of these suit you, check out PCWorld's picks for the best SSDs for all price ranges.

Kasa's Smart Plugs are tiny enough that you can fit two snugly into a double outlet, which is pretty awesome and makes it easy to get started if you don't have any smart devices at all. Anything you plug into the Kasa Smart Plug will be controllable via the app, allowing you to turn the outlet on and off remotely. It's great for lamps, fans, Christmas lights, and more.
These smart plugs are compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can easily integrate them if you already have a burgeoning smart home of either ecosystem. Use voice commands to shut off the lamp in the living room while you're already nestled in nicely in bed. You can also use a timer or countdown schedules to automatically turn on and off any appliances plugged into these smart plugs.
You'll love how easy it is to control certain outlets right from your phone, and getting two smart plugs for $11 is a great deal!

When we think about gifts that moms will appreciate, the idea of "time" comes up a lot. If you can give the mom in your life a few hours back to do whatever — relaxing, creating, or getting things done— do that. The next best thing is a device that'll help mom make the most of her time. We've rounded up some clever gadgets and useful gear that we've tried out ourselves, so we can confirm they're worthwhile. Our favorite air fryer will save time in the kitchen, a quality style-dryer could make her morning routine more efficient, and one of our favorite smartwatches will literally mark the minutes for her. We also suggest a subscription to The New York Times Games, to help make the most of precious downtime.
